<B>1844-O $5 MS63 NGC.</B></I> The 1844-O is the most common No Motto half eagle from the New Orleans Mint, due largely to its production of 364,600 pieces. It is readily obtainable in Very fine and Extremely Fine, and even About Uncirculated coins can be located without too much trouble. Mint State coins are scarce up to the Select level, at which point they become rare.<BR> This MS63 example displays bright peach-gold surfaces that yield a light green cast. A well executed strike imparts sharp definition on the design elements, except for the usually seen softness on the eagle's neck. A scattering of minute marks, none of which are worthy of individual mention, defines the grade. All in all, a highly attractive example. Census: 9 in 63, 6 finer (12/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
